Things have been happening, I was away over the weekend, just got back last night to find the 'tenting' for the asbestos removal was in place. Called back this morning and Mark had taken some nice photos while I was away, and has emailed them to me.

Status as of this morning: the asbestos has all been stripped, just cleaning up and an inspection today. The big machinery is expected tomorrow so I may end up being there all day!

Here's Mark's photos, plus a couple I took last night through the fencing.

The building fund is growing, but slowly. We have received promised grants, but still need quite a bit more to fund completion. We have do have enough money to make a start on the fitting out process, but it will only cover part of the job. The sooner we have the money the sooner we will be able to complete the building and start making use of it.

We have recently received a number of donations which are much appreciated. If one was from you, then we are deeply grateful. Thank you very much!
